"Buzz buzz..." The sound of crystal consumption came, as subtle as a mosquito, but it was still clearly audible in the airtight cabin.
Li Xuan was sitting in the cabin and looking out, he could see the blue sky, white clouds and flying birds.
Yes, Li Xuan is flying. To be precise, he is sitting on a "Lingshi Airship", taking off from Daqi's Emperor Camel and heading towards Yun Teng.
"It's your first time to sit on it. This is Daqi's latest invention and few people have ever sat on it!"
The girl next to Li Xuan said with a smile, it was Luo Li.
This return to Yunteng from Daqi was an impromptu decision. Because he was in a hurry, Lei Emperor specially sent the "Spiritual Stone Airship" that had just been developed.
As Li Xuan's girlfriend, Luo Li also returned to Yunteng with him. Of course, another task was to visit His Highness the Regent as Luo Teng's personal representative.
Li Xuan smiled. Of course he would not tell Luo Li that in a place called Earth, the speed of an airplane can outrun an airship dozens of times.
Gently holding Luo Li in his arms, Li Xuan whispered: "It doesn't matter if it's your first time riding an airship, I really want to try making out at high altitude.
Are you interested?"
"You guy..." Luo Li was sealed by Li Xuan's lips before she could react... Two days later, the airship passed through three times to supply crystals, and finally entered the Yunteng Kingdom, heading towards the Imperial Capital all the way.
After flying for a whole day, he finally landed in an open space outside the imperial capital before dusk fell.
Someone had already gotten the news and was waiting in the open space.
As soon as the airship stopped, Li Xuan and Luo Li walked out of the cabin.
"Your Highness the Regent!"
Li Xuan was stunned when he saw the leader of the welcoming crowd. He never expected that Helian Wushuang would come to greet him in person.
"Welcome our hero back."
Helian Wushuang seemed a little older when he met Maplewood City, with a few more gray hairs on his head, which shows how much pressure he has been under these days.
Others can only see that he holds a position of power that is lower than that of ten thousand people. How many people can understand how big a burden he carries on his shoulders.
It is absolutely impossible for one person to bear the pressure of a country without a strong psychological endurance.
Li Xuan still respected Helian Wushuang very much and walked over and bowed deeply.
"No gift."
Helian Wushuang helped Li Xuan up affectionately and patted him gently on the shoulder, which was both a compliment and a symbol of intimacy.
"This must be Luo Li."
Helian Wushuang looked at Luo Li next to Li Xuan, smiled slightly and said, "You inherited your mother's beauty, you are really a beautiful girl."
"Thank you, Your Highness the Regent."
Luo Li said politely, "I brought greetings from my father. He said we said goodbye ten years ago. I hope everything goes well for His Highness."
"As long as your father doesn't appear at the border of our country again, I will definitely get my wish."
Helian Wushuang chuckled.
Ten years ago, when Roten invaded the border of the Yunteng Empire, it was Helian Wushuang who was ordered to fight in the face of danger. The two sides fought like a tug-of-war for three months before it ended with Roten retreating.
That battle was the last conflict between Daqi and Yunteng. In the years that followed, Daqi gradually became Yunteng's support. This change really confirmed the saying: There are no permanent friends in politics.
Eternal enemies only have eternal interests! After meeting Luo Li, Helian Wushuang introduced a few more people to Li Xuan.
Those who came with Helian Wushuang to greet him were all his cronies, and one of them turned out to be Wang Sen, the top officer of the Liumen Army.
However, there was no trace of Xia Ruixue, which made Li Xuan couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
"Let's go, you have arranged a place for me.
This time you have to stay in the imperial capital for a while longer."
Helian Wushuang took Li Xuan's hand and said like an elder.
"Is there another mission?"
Li Xuan grinned and said, "Your Highness, I have completed the task you gave me to an extraordinary level. I should be allowed to rest for a few days, right?"
Helian Wushuang glared at Li Xuan fiercely: "The situation on the border is tense and war is about to break out. Do you still want to rest?
I have a new task for you, and no one can do this task except you!"
“Isn’t it another mission to pick up girls?
That’s not okay, Luo Li won’t agree to it, and General Roten will definitely not agree to it!”
Li Xuan's head shook like a rattle.
"Press your future father-in-law against me?"
Helian Wushuang snorted coldly, "How courageous you are!"
"Uh...I didn't mean that.
I just completed the task..." Li Xuan muttered.
"Don't worry, if you make a great contribution this time, you will be rewarded accordingly.
In the warehouses of the five major associations in the imperial capital, you can go in and choose something from each."
Helian Wushuang said.
"real!"
Li Xuan's eyes lit up and he immediately patted his chest, "Your Highness trusts me so much, of course I will try my best.
If you have any other tasks, just come and do it!”
"Get in my carriage and let's talk slowly."
Helian Wushuang said.
Arranging Luo Li to get into another carriage, Helian Wushuang pulled Li Xuan into his carriage. It was indeed the regent's carriage. It looked very simple on the outside, but it was magnificent on the inside, and there were actually seven formations arranged on the carriage.
Dharma can be said to be an impenetrable source of protection.
It is estimated that even the cultivators who want to break through these formations will have to expend some effort.
After getting on the carriage, Helian Wushuang waved his hand and activated a soundproof formation to ensure that no one would hear the conversation between the two on the carriage.
Seeing Helian Wushuang's serious face, Li Xuan also became serious. It must be no small task to make this aloof regent so cautious.
"This mission is still related to women."
Helian Wushuang looked at Li Xuan intently for a few seconds and suddenly said.
"It's time to pick up girls again!"
Li Xuan was embarrassed, "Your Highness, you don't do such teasing!"
"I don't know how to pick up girls. Of course, if you pick up girls by the way, I won't object."
A narrow smile appeared on Helian Wushuang's face, "The mission this time is to borrow money!"
"Borrow money?"
Li Xuan was stunned.
"To be precise, it's a loan.
You should know that a war can break out at any time. Although Da Qi has promised to support it, the war will cost a lot of money.
As you know about the situation in the country, the national treasury is very tight and the amount of military spending that can be allocated is limited.
I estimate that the national treasury can support the war consumption for at most half a month. If it exceeds half a month, we will be bankrupt!"
Helian Wushuang said.
"Bankruptcy?"
Li Xuan really can't imagine what it would be like for a country to go bankrupt.
But he can probably think of the consequences. If the military expenditure is not enough, the supplies of the war will be interrupted. Then let alone let the soldiers fight, if they don't mutiny, it will be considered loyal! "Yes, bankruptcy! The situation is so serious, so we
Need to borrow money."
Helian Wushuang said.
"Who can I borrow it from?"
As soon as Li Xuan finished speaking, an idea flashed in his mind, "Could it be... Sang Jingyu's father?"
